Wave Final Post

1. I think it means to never let someone like a group to take over the fact that you like For Ex. bush instead of kerry, because your free and this is a free country and the U.S, made this country free so you can be free. So it means to never let someone take over you and make you like For Ex. kerry instead of bush. Do what you want to do dont let a group take over the fact that you are free. It also could mean that you shouldnt ever take ''individual rights'' from you because it catches you in the long run and they just made you do what you knew everyone else was doing but you didnt really agree on it.
I also think that you dont need to listen to other people just because their cool and if you have a different opinion then them that you will thinkl they will laugh at you. No, make sure you give your opinion no matter how stupid you think it is. In my own life this could apply because some people might disagree and they will laugh at your opinion but i think your opinion is yours only and you just have to keep it because it is your way in things, not just their way.

2. I think Robert was a character that had his own opinion in the begining but towards the middle lost it because of everyone and how everyone took it away. I think everyone that was involved in the wave would of laughed at robert if he wasn't in he wave and i think he followed others opinions through the book. At the end he finally realized how horrible the wave was and how far it was going and knew then he should of stayed with his own opinion or stay with the wave and all the wave members that encouraged him to come to join the wave.
I think he will start being strong again on what he thinks in life and stop listening to groups and follow his way. But the wave did make him more obidient and couragous and a litlle bit more confidence in himself. I think how since the wave is over he will finally stick to his direction and make sure the effects of others dont lure him in to what he doesnt want.

3. I see that Ben took responsibility of fascism because of how powerful he took his schools and other schools to participate in this. Historical movements are like a strength that he took and force that led him further in power. Hitler was a example because of the kind of power he put everyone in and how horrible he treated and hrut everyone. He was very powerful, forcibility, aggresiveness, and regimenting all industry like taking over the war in his power.

4. To remeber to stick with your opinion and who you are and not to follow others even though they are walking closer to Ben's wave experiment. I would give advise to just stay who you want to follow and dont let others take you down the wrong path.
